App updates in user profile not running Play services/Play store

Kurianj

Hi All,
I am a new GOS user and I have a question about app updates. I first installed Google Play services and Play Store under owner profile. I then proceeded to install a few apps from the Play Store under Owner. I then created a new User and moved some of the apps from Owner to the new User profile.... which doesn't have Google Play services or Play Store. My question is will these apps that were moved to the new User profile still get app updates automatically? Thanks in advance.

If you update the apps from the Owner profile, they will be updated in the secondary user profile as well. Apps aren't stored separately in different profiles, they're installed globally and made available to profiles that have them "installed."

Thanks for your response. But I'm sorry I forgot to add that once I move some of the apps from Owner to User, I uninstall those apps from Owner so as to keep the Owner profile clean.

In that case, no, apps won't be kept up to date. If you want the apps to be kept up to date, you'd need to install Google Play in the other profile or you can use Aurora to check for updates and install them.

That makes sense. Thanks!
